How does pricing work?
Uploading starts a real GPU precheck. The project is measured, a suitable plan is recommended and the applicable price is shown before you approve the full render. See Blender render pricing.
Does uploading start a paid render?
No. Uploading begins analysis and the precheck. The full render starts only after you review and approve the measured estimate and price.
What Blender files do you accept?
GPU Render Studio is intended for finished Blender project files prepared for final rendering. The automated tier does not perform scene editing or creative fixes.
What GPU hardware is used?
The current production service is built around dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 GPUs. For measured Cycles performance, see the RTX 5090 Blender benchmark.
Can I render Blender animations?
Yes. Multi-frame projects can use the same upload, precheck, approval and rendering workflow. Eligible consecutive frames can also benefit from production optimizations documented in our benchmark methodology.
How accurate is the render estimate?
The estimate is based on a real GPU timing precheck of the uploaded project rather than only file size or frame count. Actual workload still depends on scene settings and content, so the measurement is more useful than a generic per-frame guess.
Can I track progress live?
Yes. Jobs include a live status page with progress and delivery information.
What happens if rendering fails?
Technical platform-side rendering failures are not billed under the current service policy.
Where are GPUs hosted?
GPU Render Studio operates its rendering infrastructure in the European Union. Read more on the EU GPU hosting page.
Is this the same as renting a remote GPU?
No. Raw GPU rental gives you compute access. GPU Render Studio wraps the Blender workflow around the hardware: project intake, measured precheck, pricing, execution, tracking and delivery are handled as a render service.
When is local rendering still better?
If a small job already finishes quickly on your own hardware, local rendering may be simpler. The service is most useful when render time blocks your workstation, a deadline matters, or buying high-end hardware for occasional rendering does not make sense.
